Though most sign-ups are pretty self-explanatory , here are some tips and additional information to make sure you don't miss out.
- MOST rewards programs require you to sign up at least the month before your birthday as they send their birthday emails the 1st day of the month.
- SOME require an entire 4-6 weeks in advance to get any type of birthday reward.
Because of this, I made sure to sign-up for everything before the end of December (my Birthday is February 18th, for reference), giving my plenty of time for the systems to update with my information.
- Some companies also require you to meet other criteria in order to be eligible for birthday gifts. I will note those stipulations with the specific companies below.
- IF you are going to try to use your birthday rewards/gifts on an online order, sometimes you can get lucky and get in on a FREE shipping promo. or additional savings offers on whatever items you are purchasing to get your freebie. I usually check often during the time my freebie offers are valid in hopes of getting a lower out-of-pocket cost.
